Small place for eat in or take away. Seats about 10. Cash only. Tried the classic Vietnamese sandwich...very yummy. The Jelly Iced Lychee drink is refreshing and fun to drink. And free wi-Fi to boot.

If you haven't tried the BBQ Beef Bahn Mi, you ought to. It's been marinated by a family secret and grilled to perfection, it'll melt in your mouth with every bite!

You can't go wrong here no matter what you get. All the sandwiches are great, though my fave is pork chop. And they have whole wheat bread now. Love it!

Of note, bread is slightly larger now - sandwich is more filling. Luckily, the bread is rather airy and the filling:bread ratio remains optimal.

I wouldn't say the pork chop or chicken sandwiches are the best thing I ever ate, but they are fresh and tasty! Generous amount of meat and veggies and perfect toasty bread. Hard to beat for 5 bucks

a good yummy sandwich place, however they need to do a better job of cutting out the tendons & bone with the chicken sandwich. other than that a good overall place to eat.

Very small space but I hear they are expanding. Great taste but the baguette and veggies were not as fresh or crispy as Thien or Paris. Still a solid choice and a decent price.

The Classic is the way to go. Lots of meats and veggies for a Banh Mi!

The pork chop sandwich was featured in the Food Network show "Best Thing I Ever Ate". After trying the sandwich, I must agree. It's a great sandwich and it's under $6!

Stick to the Vietnamese sandwiches, if you've had good rice vermicelli dishes in flushing or china town, you are in for major disappointment
